The Haitian artist, 47, was mistaken for a suspect in a robbery near the studio where he had been working on Tuesday. Jean documented the incident on Twitter and posted a video in which he can be seen standing in front of a police car with his hands behind his back.

“L.A., right now, coming from the studio,” Jean said. “Y’all see the police have handcuffs on me.

They just took off my Haitian bandanna. That’s what’s going on right now with Wyclef in L.A. right now. The L.A.P.D. have me in cuffs for absolutely nothing.”
